Truth be told, even Morpheus hadn't expected to unearth someone like Izuna Uchiha.
After all, Izuna died before Konoha was founded, during the fierce conflict between the Senju and Uchiha clans, when both were locked in a bitter, unending struggle.
Who could've imagined that, after establishing Konoha, Madara Uchiha would bury his brother within its borders?
It was quite extraordinary.
But Izuna's presence brought Morpheus significant advantages.
As the current patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Izuna's pledge of loyalty to Morpheus compelled the others to follow suit. One by one, they knelt, offering their allegiance.
Thus, Morpheus gained complete control over the Uchiha clan.
He also reaped considerable benefits from them, such as their Kekkai Genkai.
When reviving the Uchiha, Morpheus used a duplication spell to copy their Kekkai Genkai, granting himself the Sharingan.
As for chakra, that came naturally. While duplicating the Uchiha's Kekkai Genkai, chakra manifested within Morpheus's body.
As an immortal Extra-Dimensional Demon, his newborn chakra surpassed that of most jōnin, rivaling even the Tailed Beasts.
With the Sharingan in hand, Morpheus secluded himself to enhance it, aiming to evolve it into the Mangekyō Sharingan, perhaps even the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, or ultimately the Rinnegan.
For Morpheus, this was no daunting task. What others couldn't achieve, he could.
While Morpheus secluded himself to upgrade his Sharingan, the Uchiha clan's return sent shockwaves through Konoha.
The ninjas were beyond stunned. The Uchiha had been wiped out, yet here they were, back from the dead.
Even Izuna Uchiha, whose bones should've long turned to dust, had crawled out of his grave.
It was unthinkable, unbelievable, and defied all logic.
It was utterly un-ninja-like.
Among the most shocked was Tobirama Senju.
He knew Morpheus could revive people, but reviving an entire clan, including his old rival, was beyond comprehension.
When he heard from Nara Shikaku that Izuna had been revived, Tobirama couldn't resist sneaking to the Uchiha compound to see for himself.
Unfortunately, Izuna spotted him.
As lifelong enemies, their meeting sparked an explosive clash, tearing the Uchiha compound to ruins.
Tobirama was astonished. If he recalled correctly, Izuna had given his eyes to Madara before dying, granting Madara the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, free from the risk of blindness.
Yet now, the revived Izuna wasn't blind. He wielded a pair of formidable Mangekyō Sharingan, fighting Tobirama to a standstill.
It was incredible.
Could Morpheus's resurrection not only restore people to their peak but also erase all ailments?
That was outrageous.
With a grim expression, Tobirama used Flying Thunder God, teleporting around Izuna, seeking an opening.
Izuna sneered. He'd died to Tobirama's Flying Thunder God—a technique too overpowered, with devastating first-strike potential. Caught off guard back then, he'd been mortally wounded, giving his eyes to Madara before dying.
Now, knowing Flying Thunder God's strength, Izuna was prepared. Tobirama wouldn't take him down easily.
He vowed to thrash Tobirama today.
But as the fight dragged on, Izuna realized Flying Thunder God's infuriating versatility. Its speed made it ideal for both attack and retreat, nearly impossible to counter.
Even Izuna struggled against it.
Frustrated, he roared to his clan, "Attack!"
Instantly, multiple Susanoo rose, surrounding Tobirama.
Tobirama counted—five Susanoo? When did the Uchiha have so many Mangekyō Sharingan users?
Then, two Uchiha appeared beside him, also summoning Susanoo to protect him, facing off against the others.
Tobirama was stunned. "Kagami, is that you?"
He recognized one as his disciple, Uchiha Kagami. The other was likely Kagami's disciple or son.
Morpheus had revived him too.
Izuna, furious, roared, "Kagami, Shisui, you dare aid an outsider? Are you betraying the clan?"
Kagami smiled bitterly. "Izuna-sama, I'm not betraying the clan. I'm protecting my teacher."
"Teacher?" Izuna froze, staring at Tobirama. "Your teacher is Tobirama Senju?"
Kagami nodded.
Seeing no one contradicted him, Izuna realized it was true.
"Vile Tobirama! You took an Uchiha as a disciple? What's your scheme? Trying to swallow our clan?"
Tobirama sneered, "Izuna, not everyone's as scheming and malicious as you. Kagami is my disciple, one who understands the Will of Fire—unlike your wicked Uchiha clan."
A cold voice interrupted, "The last person with the Will of Fire was Itachi Uchiha. Egged on by your disciple, the Third Hokage, he slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan, including his parents."
"…What? That's absurd!"
"…When did the Uchiha become so pathetic? Or was Itachi Uchiha as monstrous as my brother Madara?"
